Category Archives: Groups I Belong To

I’m part of a group of local artists that will be featured in a small show in a local gallery. Honored I am to be a part of this process, yet even more puzzled as to how I’m going to make it all fit into my current life. Thankfully, piecing is something I enjoy doing […]

I’m finally getting to some of those old projects in my studio that I’ve been long putting off! Today’s accomplishment was a block for Yahaira as part of our Mid Mod Quilt Bee. This is the last of blocks due for this bee and there is a part of me that’s sad to see it […]

It’s been quite a week for me! Medically that is. Let’s see we have one broken bone, one surgery, stitches, another doctor’s appointment, immunizations… a cold… not me, thankfully. The good news is everybody should be just fine! Now, with the kids fully back in school I have the house to myself and I can […]

This month it’s Blair’s turn and wouldn’t you guess… more strips! How could she have known this would be right up my alley? For inspiration she sent us pictures of tile-work done in a mid-century style… just the very thing I have in my own house! She also sent a delicious array of fabrics… tiffany […]

You may already know that I belong to an online bee called the Mid Mod Quilt Bee. Each month, a member posts instructions for a block, sends fabric and we are to create a block for them. Last month was my month! Inspired by the work of Mondrian, I provided each of our members with […]

It’s my turn to host the Mid Mod Quilt Bee. I’ve decided that since one of my favorite color-field artists is Mondrian, I’ll start with his work and launch from there. I’ve assembled a group of shot cottons, which in this picture taken in the evening with poor lighting, are really more beautiful than they […]

The only bee I participate in these days is the Mid Mod Quilt Bee, hosted by Rossie. We are about half way through our year and the assignment for this month was given to us by Rebekah. Our assignment was to focus on the mod shape of a rounded square within a rounded square… she […]

I’m finally recovered from my weekend of events and happy to report both functions were hugely successful… at least, people seemed to have a wonderful time. The branch chandeliers were a hit… as were the ornaments. Thankfully, all were bid on. I’m not sure of the numbers yet, but I’m sure we did well. With […]

I’m surrounded by green today, and feeling relaxed and fruitful. Wanting to learn more about this generous color, I stumbled upon a profound statement in “Colors” by Anne Varichon: “The delicate gaseous equlibrium that allows us to breathe on earth today all depends, therefore, on a green pigment (Chlorophyll).” I finished using the scraps from […]

I blame Cheryl for this one… she sent our group, the Mid Mod Quilt Bee, fabric packs and pretty much said go for it! When I read her instructions panic set in. I had absolutely no idea what she was going for! So I read the instructions over… and over… still nothing. Guess where this […]

I’ve been invited to join an online quilting bee called the Mid Mod Quilt Bee. It’s a different kind of quilting bee, instead of gathering at a someone’s house, we gather virtually… online, and instead of everybody participating in the quilting of a quilt, we are all piecing blocks which are then put together and […]
